La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
When Christ our life appears, our hope will be complete
Our longings finally rest as we fall at His feet
When Jesus comes to reign, restoring everything
Our tears will turn to tides of praises to our King
We’re longing for that day when we’ll see
Christ, our Savior
We’ll behold the glory of our King forever
Christ, our Savior
Faith will turn to sight when Christ our life appears
When Christ our life appears, the curse will be undone
All wickedness will end as mercy overcomes
The Savior will renew what sin had torn apart
His light will drive the shadows from our weary hearts
We’re longing for that day when we’ll see
When Christ our life appears, these trials that weighed us down
Will fade and fall away as He receives our crowns
And death will disappear, its rule and reign destroyed
Beneath the weight of glory and eternal joy
We’re longing for that day when we’ll see
